a skeleton plays the piano and you look you beautiful today / third class horrorstories have always been an essential part of the play / and so the glue silently dripped down your sugarcoated lip / closed my fleshwound by mistake.
i got the keypoints and that will do / enough to over-romanticise you / or are you only here to teach me a lesson about context? / a beginner's guide to drunk texts / heeled boots stuck in mudd / the art of not giving a fuck / no question about it: that stare will do me no good.
and i know you could make the whole town just burst into applause / how should i calm down when you sharpen your claws?
i ran away so the needle broke off in my arm / met a friend of a friend of yours and raised an alarm / oh, he's basically a guy that impersonates himself / but he might just look top-shelf next to all the green girlie-vodka you had / they're not good for your health, babe / there's too much sugar in there / when you ruffle my hair / way too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in every single strand of your hair / there's too much sugar in there / i really need to beware.
you make the whole town just burst into applause / how should i calm down when you sharpen your claws?
there's too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in there / when you ruffle my hair / way too much sugar in there / there's too much sugar in every single strand of your hair / there's too much sugar in there / i really need to beware.
